New book: We Won't Go

We Won't Go!
The Truth on Military Recruiters & the Draft.
A Guide to Resistance.
From the Introduction:

'Army recruiting is in a death spiral,' says retired Army Lt. Col. Charles Krohn, a lifelong Republican and former Pentagon public affairs official.
As the bloody colonial occupation of Iraq drags on into its third year, the Army continues to miss its recruiting quotas--falling short by a staggering 42% in April of 2005.
Maj. Gen. Michael D. Rochelle, commander of Army recruiting, predicted that 2006 could be the toughest recruiting year since the draft was ended in 1973.
This book is aimed at increasing recruiting problems by helping young people and their parents counter the lies of the recruiters.
In this book, you will find practical tools for challenging recruiters, exposing their falsehoods, and getting them out of our schools.

How important is this book? Well, consider that the U.S. war machine is over 100,000 troops short of its needs in Iraq alone, recruitment is down and continually falling short of its goals. As a result, recruiters are preying on youth and targeting many from poor and working-class families, especially youth of color with lies of educational opportunities and job training without telling them about the realities and dangers of U.S. military life and war in Iraq. A few months ago, an Army recruiter in Houston was caught on tape telling a prospective student that he was required to meet with him "by federal law," and threatened to issue an arrest warrant if he didn't appear.
Meanwhile, the Selective Service System is preparing the apparatus for the draft - their performance plan for 2004, available on their website (sss.gov), states that they are training, staffing, and preparing their agency to be ready for a full mobilization within 75 days of an authorized return to conscription.
So, how important is a handbook opposing recruiters and arming youth and activists with the tools to fight back? We think ... well, you know what we think, check it out for yourself:
